In this episode of The Uprising Show, we welcome Crystal Smith, entrepreneur, business consultant, author, and business broker, to share her insights on building, scaling, and exiting businesses, especially in the care industry. From her roots as a single mother and caregiver to becoming a mentor and advocate for ambitious founders, particularly women and first-generation entrepreneurs, Crystal Smith highlights the critical value of mentorship, the hidden costs of going it alone, and the legacy-building opportunities in turning businesses into valuable, sellable assets. Tune in as we explore why soft skills from caregiving translate into elite business leadership, the shifting landscape for small healthcare operators, and the empowering mindset of becoming “the industry” in your own right. If you’re looking to gain confidence, build systems, and create generational wealth, this conversation is for you.
